Story

Nizmo’s name was inspired by Nissan Nizmo performance division. She is a beautiful friendly dog. We have a smaller dog that she got along great with and cats that she likes also. I am not sure how she would do around bigger dogs. She has beautiful tiger stripes and is very smart. She has a tendency to jump but has been trained to keep that under control. She is crate trained. She loves being scratched where her tail meets her body and has the most beautiful smile when she gets scratched. She gets excited to see me every morning. She has a fenced back yard to play in but spends most of her time indoors. We have our 9 month old grand daughter staying with us and she crawled into Nizmo's cage. She is good with children.

Story

Dog for adoption – experienced home needed. This is not an easy decision, but I want what’s best for him. He is very energetic, playful, and has a big personality. He needs an active home that can give him daily exercise and attention. He does have separation anxiety and is not kennel trained yet, so he can become destructive if left alone without proper structure. He will need a patient owner willing to work on training and provide consistency. He would do best with someone home often or familiar with high-energy/anxious dogs. Not ideal for a first-time owner. I care where he goes and want the right fit, so I will ask questions. Serious inquiries only. Please message me if interested.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.MEET SEEKA !!!! Seeka is an energetic young pit mix! At 1.5 yrs , this girl is all play . Special attention to the super pretty light brindle pattern this girl has on her back! Seeka is about 50lbs and medium sized lap dog. She loves to be loved. Watch those toes, cause she will come and lick them all up! My daughter and I have been goofing about her fun little quirks. But in all seriousness, Seeka is one of the most loving dogs we’ve fostered. She is working on crate training. While she doesn’t go in automatically , she does walk to it for me, then allows me to help encourage her in, and once in, not a single peep from the girl. Whether it’s waking up in the morning and waiting to be let out, or coming home after work. She is so quiet and so patient! Seeka is eager to learn and please so far. House trained and potential to be a “free feeder”. While Seeka does love enjoying her meal, she’s not worried about it right away. She eats when she’s hungry. She has been fed around other dogs and never attempts to steal their food. She loves chewing on tough toys , bones, and antlers. She can play with them with other dogs or on her own. She is absolutely obsessed with my 12yr old daughter , so a home with kids would be her dream! Seeka is UTD on shots, heart worm, and is fixed. Check her out!!
